third party error spotting, but so brutal it's worth sharing: dave mckenna publishes a takedown of a badly-reported/made-up story in the baltimore sun, the reporter responds to argue with the takedown in the comments, mckenna destroys him.

President Donald Trump's White House has produced more than its share of spelling errors and other typos. This may seem trivial, and even ticky-tacky of me to point out. But I'd like to argue that these point to larger and more systematic problems in this administration.

I've seen a few articles related to that.. it's definitely a bad sign.

Above all, to me it indicates sloppiness. I pretty much proof read everything I write.. You've pointed out several typos from me over the years, most notably bear vs bare - lmfao. But for the most part, I enjoy proof reading what i've typed. If i'm sending out an important email to someone, i'll proofread it several times over.

So, all of the typos in the Trump administration point to rushed, sloppy, careless behavior. What & how we write, is a lens into our brain.

I've also had a theory that some typos are deliberate - but just some, not all. I feel like Bannon & Co. theorize that typos help create a bridge to the "common man" -> "hey, they're (Trump et al) just like me! I make typos too!" :/

Am I a dickhead for doing that? I mean, that's a published article.. not like they can just easily correct it. If I published an article in a journal, and someone tweeted me with typos, i'd be pissed - not at them, but at myself.
